About this home

Visitors may know San Clemente for its iconic Pier, but locals know the real magic is found in the Southwest neighborhoods. Here, life moves at a different pace. Mornings begin with a walk to Calafia Beach, afternoons are cooled by ocean breezes, and evenings end with sunset skies over the Pacific. Just down the coast, world-famous Trestles - host site of the 2028 Olympic surfing competition - reminds you why this stretch of coastline is considered one of the premier surf destinations in the world. Tucked within this coveted coastal enclave, Montalvo Loop offers a rare opportunity to experience the beach lifestyle that makes San Clemente so special. Located within Villa Montalvo, an intimate community of just six privately owned residences, this updated coastal retreat enjoys one of the most desirable settings in the building with exceptional views. Large windows and a private balcony overlook a tropical coastal canyon, creating a peaceful, treehouse-like atmosphere filled with lush greenery, natural light, ocean breezes, and the sounds of nature. It's a rare combination of privacy and beach-close living that is increasingly difficult to find. Inside, approximately 1,245 square feet of updated living space blends modern comfort with a relaxed coastal aesthetic. The reverse floorplan was designed to maximize the canyon views, placing the main living areas upstairs where natural light and ocean breezes flow throughout the home. Hardwood flooring, updated lighting, a remodeled kitchen with white cabinetry, solid slab stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a custom Dutch entry door create a space that feels both current and timeless. Downstairs, two spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms provide comfortable accommodations, including a generous primary suite and an upgraded guest bath with an interior laundry area. Additional highlights include two dedicated parking spaces, generous private storage within the community garage, and best of all, HOA dues of just $338/month! Enjoy the perfect proximity to Calafia State Beach, Riviera Beach, T-Street, the Beach Trail, downtown restaurants, golf, and everything that makes Southwest San Clemente one of Orange County's most sought-after coastal communities. Whether you're searching for the perfect lock-and-leave second home, a weekend beach retreat, or a full-time residence where every day feels like vacation, this is more than a home - it's an opportunity to live the Southwest San Clemente lifestyle.
